18 posts held, back to 15 December 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 18 posts for this entry, the most recent from 30 January 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 12 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.
Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
1 reaction across 1 post, in 1 kind.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 1 of the 18 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 1reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 18 most recent posts we hold, published 15 December 2024 to 30 January 2025, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
President Trump’s firing of these nonpartisan watchdogs is illegal and must be reversed. The law requires that Congress must receive a detailed written rationale from the President for the firings. The public has a right to know. https://x.com/JudiciaryDems/status/1884360418682102164?t=FVHYDtqhScpFl1P1n37I5w&s=19
Despite “assurances” from Trump admin that programs, such as Medicaid, are not impacted by today’s federal funding freeze, states report being locked out of payment systems for... you guessed it: Medicaid! Rural hospitals & pregnant moms lose under this Trump chaos. https://x.com/cspan/status/1884311885744369781?t=NM-EeDWwto5tfeubca3iNA&s=19
It’s always a pleasure to meet with Mayor Chris Koos from Normal, Illinois. We discussed the need for housing to match demand and funds for critical infrastructure projects in Central Illinois, particularly the Uptown Connector/Pedestrian Underpass project.
House Republicans are hobnobbing at Trump’s golf resort in Miami while the President plans to shut down research funding on childhood cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, & so much more at 5PM. Members should immediately return to DC to work w/Dems to undo this threat created by Trump.
A powerful military must be able to recruit service members far and wide and invest in its troops. This ban makes us less safe. https://x.com/JudiciaryDems/status/1884300551162323253?t=RZHKa1Vs043b3HXy6E_sSg&s=19
I’m on the Senate floor denouncing President Trump’s anti-immigrant executive orders & actions that do nothing to make our nation safer. Watch. https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1eaJbaWzqzRGX?t=-n2ddjwWjKTU5btXG47k5w&s=09
Dear Family, I want to sincerely apologize for the lack of updates on our Telegram channel over the past weeks. We understand that many of you rely on our content, and we deeply regret any inconvenience caused by our absence. Due to some unforeseen political reasons, we had to take a temporary break from posting. While this was beyond our control, we truly appreciate your patience and unwavering support during this…
I was thrilled to celebrate $291.2M in federal funding for Chicago’s CREATE program today. Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, this funding will make our railways more efficient for moving freight and safer for passengers.

NEWS: @EPA awarded over $2.7M to @chicagoriver & @metroplanners to bring together community leaders to help shape Chicago-Calumet rivers’ policy advisory work. Their work will reduce pollution, increase climate resilience, & build community capacity. https://x.com/EPAEnvJustice/status/1867271609993629714?t=EfUIxFMXKZAljlhlJuvaFw&s=19
A strong, diverse educator workforce improves outcomes for all students. I sent a letter urging @usedgov to include data on the diversity of this workforce in the Civil Rights Data Collection to better understand & evaluate educator recruitment & retention efforts.
Leading the Senate Judiciary Committee has been the highlight of my career. For democracy, for our justice system, for the American people. https://x.com/JudiciaryDems/status/1867296546699849774?t=VDHKwtVojpfZSUBRYCSvLw&s=19

Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @SenatorDurbin. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 1,140,323 of 1,160,990entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
@SenatorDurbin named 5 handles that resolve to nothing today. That is a fact about the reference, not necessarily a fact about the handle’s history — see the two groups below.
Most of these may never have existed as a live channel at all.A handle a channel names can be a typo, an aspirational name nobody registered, or a channel that was already gone before this one ever mentioned it. Unless a row below is marked evidenced, all we know is that it references a handle that is not a live channel today — not that anything “died”. How this is measured.
References a handle that is not a live channel — we have no record it ever was one.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 12 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
